Crafting rowing solutions since 1992.
We’re a family-run British company supplying only the highest quality coaching, umpiring and rescue catamarans around the world.
Our catamaran launches are used by rowing clubs, schools, regattas, canoe and kayak clubs, individual buyers and more recently in renewable energy development.
These catamarans are solidly engineered with the most rigorous tried and tested methods. The roto-moulded trilaminate polythylene hulls are unique to Rowing Solutions Ltd. Our earliest models dating back to 1992 are still in active use today because they are built for posterity – that’s why we are the leading choice globally.
Kings Award for Enterprise - International Trade.
His Majesty The King has approved the Prime Minister's recommendation that Rowing Solutions should receive a King’s Award for Enterprise, effective from May 2025. This represents the United Kingdom's highest business accolade and in Rowing Solutions’ case, the award recognises outstanding achievement in the development of International Trade.
Our catamarans have been shipped to 20+ countries across North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
The catamarans.
Key Features:
Manoeuvrability - allowing you to easily get closer to your crews without impacting them.
Compact turning radius of 4 metres (14 feet) allowing it to move effortlessly forwards and in reverse.
The catamaran starts at the press of a button, it is easy to drive, simple to maintain and provides great battery economy.
The roto-moulded, trilaminate polyethylene hulls are virtually indestructible, meaning they endure years worth of wear and tear.
Speed - the RS CAT16 can reach up to 32km/h with a 15hp outboard and two persons onboard, within a few seconds. This performance champions world record men’s sprint K4 events as well as the fastest rowing crews (M8+).
